I've never heard of it either but I hope that by following the drs orders that you'll get some relief from it. That would be scary.

I have had some strange symptoms related to acid reflux. If this were me, I would go to the ENT now just to know what it is.
I have had the endoscopy. They put you out, which I always enjoy. You don't feel anything, not even when you wake up. If it is acid reflux, it is usually manageable by watching what you eat and taking the little purple pill (nexium).

Thanks all for your advice . I made an appt. with an ENT but Thursday is the only day they can squeeze me in. I really would have liked it sooner , it didn't go away and now I am a nervous wreck. I do get scared for I have it nightly. Wish me luck! |

Try not to be too nervous Gina...that may make it worse. I know with my acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux disease -- GERD) I felt like I was having a heart attack and I would vomit this brown stuff. Rick even called the ambulance and they took me to the hospital. It wasn't a heart attack, but that same night....my brother was taken to the hospital with an actual heart attack. I went back to town to be with him and he was on the same guerney and my blood was still on the floor from the IV.
I take medicine for it now and don't have any problems.

When did you do that, Janet? Did you just not let us know......or what? I'm glad that the medicine helps you.
Gina, you'll have to let us know how things go as soon as you get back home from the doctor.
